And while we’re on the subject: when did people start calling the # character “hashtag?” Where do you think the “hash” in “hashtag” comes from? It’s a tag on a post that begins with the hash character: hash-tag. Argh! Drives me bonkers.

A bold, black hash symbol is accompanied by the hashtag #MakeHashHashAgain in white text.

@Miraz Oh, yeah. I will admit I may be guilty of saying something like that myself. 😄

@lmika Not even safe from the auto-generated alt descriptor for the image: “a bold, black hashtag symbol is accompanied by the caption…” NO! I made sure that was fixed.

@writingslowly I’ll settle with calling it the LP symbol if everyone else in the world agrees. 😀

@lmika The original name was “octothorp,” but I always called it the pound sign.
